On the line: building a 777 bodyshell sub-assembly

You are a mechanical manufacturing operative on a rolling-stock build line, producing aluminium bodyshell sub-assemblies for a new metro fleet. It's a publicly owned fleet — the customer carries the asset, not a leasing company — so quality flows straight back to the people who'll run it for thirty years. Today is about getting components to spec, repeatably, at fleet volume.

The jig is loaded with aluminium extrusions for a bodyside sub-assembly. You've got the drawing, the work instruction, and a production target for the shift. Forty-odd more of these follow this one — whatever you do here, you do on the whole fleet.
